I tried it a second time and got them again. McAfee called them trojans. I am unable to send a private message on these boards, so I am forced to make it public. Sorry, Drakier.

The Vault won't do a private tell for me. It, instead, keeps giving me ads that want me to pay for a special service.
When ACDC starts loading, McAfee gives me a message. It does it four times in a row. It finds four files that it calls trojan and deletes them. I ran a full scan to make sure my system was clean. Then I loaded Decal and AC and everything was fine. So I clicked on the ACDC site again (using the url in ACDC) and the trojan conversation happened again. The reason I was trying to get to the ACDC site is cause Decal seems to be loading more slowly than before and when ACDC loads Decal and then AC, Decal doesn't get loaded first and the toon doesn't have a Decal toolbar. I just wanted to let you know about that when this trojan thing happened.
I don't know how to deal with this sort of thing, so I just let McAfee handle it. Is there something I should have done?

Again.. could you be more specific.
I need exact error messages and exact filenames.
I can't try to fix something that I don't know is broken. (Although I have a hard time believing it detects 4 files as ACDualClient itself doesn't really contain 4 files...it does.. barely)
Please be specific.

Besides not using McAfee (or Symantec) products?

Sorry it is taking me so long to reply. It takes quite a while to rescan my puter and clean it up.
I was mistaken about it being 4 files. It is 3 files.
xpladv489[1].wmf - McAfee claims this is Exploit WMF
new489[1].htm - McAfee claims this is VBS/Psyme
slide489[1].htm - McAfee claims this is JS/Exploit - BO Gen
I tried it again this morning. Did not get those error messages when I browsed Warcry, The Vault, Turbine, Dell, NBC news, ACHeaven and several other sites.
They appeared when I browsed to ACDC using my saved url in favorites.

Umm.. those aren't my files.
and they aren't on my site as far as I can tell.
What page do you go to when they appear?

I go to acdualclient.drakier.com.
I had thought that they were appearing when I browsed. That's why I browsed all over the place after cleaning my hard drive of the files. I didnt get them til I went to your site. I have used ACDC for years and I have never had any problem with your site. That is why I am asking you about it. What sort of mechanism is at work here?
I will simply avoid your site for now. But I sure would like to know what is happening.

They are only when you access the forums Drakier. I had this problem, NOD32 Picked up all up and I was safe, but I think it is something you should get fixed  |
